I am a Huge Lurker
Well, here I am stepping out of the shadows for a moment to remind you all that I am not, as I was beginning to believe, dead. School almost killed me, but its aim was a little off... Missed its chance. Anyway I'm on break now, which is amazing and wonderful and means I actually have time to post stuff here, thus removing one item from the long list of things that Chris totally gave up on this year (next in line for rescue: my social life!). I am still tired from school. It got to the point, during the last few weeks before break, that I was running on empty like I never have before. It looks as though all that work paid off though, as I GOT INTO COLLEGE! Pardon me for gloating, but part of that running on empty thing was a huge amount of self-doubt as to whether or not I was going anywhere in life. So I got into Pratt, which is like my 3rd choice, but isn't somewhere I'd be unhappy goinge. The pressure is basically off, and that's awesome. It also means that I won't have to even apply to any schools that were lower than 3rd on my list. Woo.
In other news, my house has a decent internet connection now which means... bittorent! I'm downloading Leiji Matsumoto's classic space-epic Uchuu Senkan Yamato (Space Battleship Yamato, Star Blazers) which is fun and great, and made in the 70s. Harkens back to a time where men were men (and incidentally, so were robots), women were women (oh that Mori Yuki... total space-babe) and doctors/veteranarians were comic releif characters with a taste for sake, not sexy villains with a taste for... the protagonist. I'm also finally getting to watch the X tv show, so the SxS saga can put its hand through my heart all over again. Poor SS and SS... they got what I expected but not what I hoped for...
Uh... so yeah... I'll try to be online at some point and I can catch up with all of you, K?
